Both devices deliver 20 dBm P1dB compression point and 30 dBm OIP3. The XB1007-BD has a noise figure of 4.5 dB and 23 dB small signal gain; the XB1008-BD has a noise figure of 5.5 dB and 18 dB small signal gain.

These buffer amplifiers are ideal for wireless communications applications such as millimeter-wave point-to-point radio, local multipoint distribution services (LMDS), SATCOM and VSAT applications.

Packaged versions of the XB1007-BD and XB1008-BD in fully molded, plastic 3x3 QFN packages will be available in the near future for surface mount applications.
